A lead-free brass material exhibiting excellent forgeability and dezincification resistance is provided. The brass material includes 61.0 to 63.0 wt % of Cu, 0.5 to 2.5 wt % of Bi, 1.5 to 3.0 wt % of Sn, 0.02 to 0.10 wt % of Sb, and 0.04 to 0.15 wt % of P, with the balance being substantially Zn. The brass material is a lead-free, free-cutting alloy which can be suitably applied to forging and which exhibits excellent mechanical properties and dezincification resistance without substantially subjecting the brass material to a heat treatment after forging. |
